Broccoli Salad

Directions

1. 1
   Chop the broccoli into smaller sizes. This only applies of your broccoli is too large to mix in a side salad.
2. 2
   Chop the red onion into a dice, but not too fine. Keeping the onion slightly chunky will add texture to the salad.
3. 3
   Roast the walnuts, dry or with oil, in a pan to your preference.
4. 4
   In the same pan, fry the bacon until crispy.
5. 5
   In a large mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, and sugar. Mix this until the consistency, color, and texture is the same.
6. 6
   To your preference, you can add more balsamic vinegar if you want a tangier dressing.
7. 7
   Crumble the cooked bacon into the large mixing bowl with the mayonnaise dressing, then add the broccoli, walnuts, raisins, and onions to the bowl.
8. 8
   Mix well until all the dry ingredients get covered in the dressing.
9. 9
   Cover the salad in plastic wrap an place in the fridge for at least a couple of hours (1-3 hours) to let the flavors sit. I like to make this salad a day before serving to let the salad sit overnight.

    After resting, the salad is ready to serve!
